My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1115

"It's not just good news for me. It's good news for us." Fiorella smiled at Jared.

"Us?" The smile on Jared's face began to fade, and he looked at her with his forehead creased. "What do you mean by that?"

"This project will be managed by you and Castor," she replied. "Isn't that good news for us? In addition, the both of us will be working on this project together in the future."

Fiorella was elated. She looked at Jared affectionately as if he was her boyfriend.

"Was this Henry's idea or yours?" Jared asked.

Initially, Fiorella wanted to tell him the truth, but she was worried that Jared would object, so she blamed it on Henry. "It was Henry's idea of course. He must have thought that Castor couldn't manage such a major project alone, so he assigned it to you as well. Anyways, I think this is a good arrangement. It would definitely be tiring for a single person to do everything on his own. With the both of you working together, neither of you would be exhausted."

Jared had a strong urge to approach Henry at once and ask him to pass the position to someone else. But knowing that Henry was at the top of the chain of command, he would not be able to persuade Henry without a solid reason. Then, he stared at Fiorella and his mind began to wander.

"Jared, what are you thinking about?" Fiorella noticed that Jared was lost in thought and attempted to snap him out of it.

"Nothing. It's just that this news is way too sudden. I don't think I'm prepared for it yet," Jared said, knowing that he could not tell her what was on his mind, so he had to come up with something.

"Oh, no preparations are needed. You can just treat it like you would any other project. There is no need to be nervous about it." Fiorella said, thinking that he was anxious about the project, and attempted to comfort him.

"When is the project starting?" Jared stared her in the eye, and asked.

"Once the contract has been signed, we'll get to work immediately."

To create an opportunity for herself to get closer to Jared at work, Fiorella had already delayed the plan. She wanted to make up for all the lost time.

"Is it that urgent?" Jared raised his eyebrows.

Jared knew that Fiorella would be the person in charge of this project. Thus, he attempted to make it clear to her that he was not the best person to manage it, hoping that she would remove him from it.

However, he did not expect Fiorella to not share such concerns.

In fact, she began to comfort him by saying, "Jared, for a person like you, I'd say that these worries are as baseless as can be. With your abilities, managing a few projects all at once will not be an issue. Even if you don't have enough time and energy needed to take care of this project, Castor will be by your side, assisting you. I'm sure he won't let you manage everything on your own."

Jared was disappointed, for he had already made his intentions and position obvious, and yet Fiorella had failed to understand what he had meant.

"Thank you for your assurance." Jared issued a long sigh.

"Jared, in light of this good news, should we head out and celebrate? I saw a new restaurant just around the corner. Would you like to grab some lunch together?" Fiorella suggested.
